STRs in Keller are subject to the 2015 noise ordinance with quiet hours 10 PM to 7 AM weekdays and 10 PM to 10 AM weekends. Guest complaints can trigger warnings and fines to the owner.
Because Keller does not have a separate short-term rental ordinance, STR guest noise is regulated under the general Keller Code of Ordinances Chapter 16 (Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions) noise standards adopted in 2015. These rules apply to any occupant of a dwelling including transient guests. Amplified sound (loudspeakers, stereos, instruments, public address systems) is prohibited in residential zones from 10 PM to 7 AM on weekdays and 10 PM to 10 AM on weekends. Lawn equipment hours are also restricted. A broader reasonable-noise standard applies 24 hours a day, and vibration or sound that crosses the property line and disturbs neighbors may constitute a violation. Keller Police handle after-hours complaints and typically issue a warning on first response but may cite repeat offenders. Because the property owner is the permit holder under most ordinances and the HOA member, citations and HOA fines attach to the owner, not the guest. Many Keller HOAs supplement with stricter pool and outdoor music curfews. Operators should include the rules in house manuals.
Noise citations carry fines from 100 to 2,000 dollars per incident set by the Keller Municipal Court. HOA fines may stack separately.
